That's actually a good idea when you consider how close it is to Christmas.

I wouldn't hate that. Though we played like crap the one time we wore all reds.


I still really want to see my helmet sticker idea...White helmet, Chrome facemask, Dark Dog chrome sticker on the right and NIU sticker on the left.

The most common listing I'm seeing is Marshall vs. NIU, so I guess that means we're the home team. All red a possibility then.

Does Adidas step up and supply post season unis like they have in the past. It might be something we haven't seen yet like a version of the OB unis.

We have 4 different helmets. Say 80 players dress. If they averaged 10 stickers on each helmet, that's 800 stickers to apply every week. All the student managers would quit.

They already put new stickers (main large 2) on every week. That is why they ask for student volunteers.

You're making my point for me. 2 stickers takes a lot less time than 12. We also don't have as many student managers as we'd like to either. It would be a nice look, but it's just not feasible.

Do you work with the equipment people that do this? (just for clarification)

How would putting the dark dog chrome Huskie head on the right side of the helmet instead of another "NIU" be that much more work? Everything else on the helmet would be the same as the last game.

My bad. I thought you meant the small stickers some schools put on for big plays.

No just the single large Dark Dog chrome huskie head on the right side of the helmet (opposite side as this image)

If you have an in see if they can mock one up to see if the chrome shows on the white helmet or not (not even sure it would show up on the white helmet)...then show the seniors as it being an option.

I'll forward your idea to the equipment manager. My guess is they'll have something special planned like we've done for recent bowl games.

Twitter pic had the guys practicing in the black helmets with the "NIU" on the sides. Assuming that's the helmet.

NIU is the home team.

Agreed...though Carey had 2 helmets at the press conference today.

Black helmet, chrome facemask and NIU sticker
White helmet, black facemask and NIU sticker.


IMO the dark dog logo and the NIU sticker would go best on the black helmet (no I am not giving up on that!)
